There is a way of importing contacts from Windows XP Outlook to Mac Leopard Entourage and that is by saving a file in a Text - comma separated values and then importing into Entourage.
Here is how:
1. Open Outlook in Windows
2. Click on File and then *Import and Export*
3. Choose *Export to a file* and hit Next
4. Choose *Comma Separated Values (Windows)* and hit Next
5. Then highlight Contacts and hit Next
6. Choose a filename and a place to save the exported file and hit Next
7. Confirm with a check mark next to *Export "Contacts" from folder: Contacts* and hit Finish
The above will have generated a file with the exported contacts from Outlook. Remember its name and location on the HD.
1. Open Entourage in Leopard
2. Go to File and choose Import
3. Place a check mark on *Contacts or Messages from a text file* and click the *Right Arrow* at the bottom right of the window.
4. Place a check mark on *Import contacts from a tab- or comma-delimited text file* and click on the *Right Arrow* at the bottom right of the window.
5. Locate the file that you created above and highlight it in the next window. Once done then hit Import
That should bring in all the contacts into Entourage.
The above instructions are for importing outlook contacts into Entourage (Office 2008 for Mac). If you have any other version then it should still work however the menu choices may be slightly different.
